That's a very old article you're referring to Hamed (circa 2007)... perhaps these might be more relevant:- http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration http://wiki.debian.org/Network While it does have some useful articles - don't confuse the domain name with the official Debian site, debian.org, which is usually the best source of relevant documentation. -- Iceweasel/Firefox extensions for finding answers to Debian questions:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
